Quake II for Nintendo 64

Much more than an aftershock, Quake II is a couch-rattling seismic event. The Quake series is already legendary in the PC gaming world, and Quake 64 gave Nintendo owners their first taste of id Software's monstrous hit. Activision is now giving hungry fans a second helping of first-person pandemonium with Quake II. The visuals are slick, the gameplay is quick, and the enemies are down-right sick. Even though Quake II does not stray too far from the formula established by its forefathers, it is an engrossing first-person shooter that gives fans of the genre exactly what they're looking for. Since most fans are looking for grotesque special effects and monstrous weaponry, this game has earned a well-deserved Mature rating from the ESRB. Therefore, Quake II has content that is suitable only for persons age 17 or older.

Sweet gameplay, all around good, fun

Pros: Sweet gameplay, all around good, fun
Cons: Some picky people might not light the low-res visuals
If you ' re someone who values grphics above gameplay, then stop reading this review right now. Raster(the developer) made a clear choice: gameplay over visuals. Now if you ' re not as shallow as those whove already stopped reading, then Q2 has...

Simplistic, quick, fun 3D shooter

This is a totally new spin on Quake II. It is different than the computer version, new levels, new missions, but the same new enemies from Quake II on the computer. There are around 16 levels with 30 missions. What I mean by missions, is that in each level you have stuff to do, such as collect explosives, then place them to blow up a power grid, or realign a satellite dish. If this sounds complex, don't worry just walk up to something and it is done (quite brainless). This game is your stereotypical shooting game, you run in a first person game, with one of seven guns you can pick up and with this game you get a full 360 degrees motion with your gun, so it s more than shooting straight. With other shooting games you fight against waves of monsters, in this game there are pretty much 10 - 20 creatures per level, making the levels go by quickly. This is a pretty good game, the only real downfall is that there are only 10 - 20 enemies per level, making the game go by pretty quick and easy. However the second to last level is totally different from the previous levels making it nearly impossible for the player to complete (Several death traps when the previous levels have no death traps).
